I'm building an SCCA E-Production race car. I have a GSL suspension in the donor, but need the bigger brakes from the GSL-SE.

I know that I could just swap the rear end and struts, but I'm having trouble finding parts locally, and don't want to pay to have a whole rear end shipped.

I'm already planning on buying new calipers, bearings, and hubs/rotors, and already have a good LSD.

I THINK the only other parts I need are rear axles and front and rear brake backing plates (and wheels, of course). Am I right?

(My main concerns are whether the front spindles are the same size, and whether the backing plates will bolt up).

Thanks!
Steven

 

What *year* GSL parts?

GSL-SE rotors go right on to '84-85 spindles, and -SE axles will go right in to an '84-85 rearend.

Sorry - (duh) - '84.

Thanks for the info and links! I'm still confused on the caliper hangars, though - will the 'SE hangars bolt up to my backing plates? If so, this is even easier than I thought!

Thanks again,
Steven
